Enemy Territory: Quake Wars MAC

MODEL- 11650 VENDOR- ASPYR

FEATURES- Enemy Territory: Quake Wars MAC
Built using id Software's revolutionary MegaTexture rendering
technology, Enemy Territory: QUAKE Wars features strategic team
play, persistent character promotions, and the universe's most
powerful weapons and vehicles in heroic objective-based battles as
the Global Defense Force faces off against the alien Strogg
invasion. Battles rage on stunning battlefields inspired by
tropical, arctic, temperate, urban and desert locations both online
and offline against lethal A.I. combatants. With unmatched
graphics, physics, networking, and story-driven military missions,
Enemy Territory: QUAKE Wars transports players to the front lines
of the ultimate war for Earth.
As the invasion begins, players choose to battle as one of five
unique classes in either the human Global Defense Force (GDF) or
the barbaric Strogg armies, each augmented with specialist weapons
and combat hardware. Troops utilize more than 40 conventional and
futuristic vehicles, deployable structures, and defense systems
like quad-bikes, tanks, and alien walkers for intense ground
assaults; or helicopters and anti-gravity ships to lend firepower
from the air. Throughout each battle, teams establish bases, deploy
defense structures, artillery, radar, and advanced forward-command
systems into enemy territory while constructing and demolishing
obstacles to speed progress and gain a tactical advantage over the
enemy.

Reviewed on 2008-06-14 Another Hit To Trickle Down to the Mac! This game is a blast to play and the work that went into porting it is clearly visible, optimizing it for the Mac OS X operating system in order to make sure it runs on Apple's sometimes limited software. This game runs great on my 2007 entry level iMac at HD resolutions with nearly all settings maxed out by default. Aspyr just updated it to once again align with the pc version, so although it is sometimes frustrating waiting for games, the quality that Aspyr puts into their ports makes it *almost* worth the wait!

Reviewed on 2008-04-26 Aspyr strikes again, won't run with new NVIDIA 8800 GT video cards For someone who keeps hoping gaming will take off for the macintosh this game is yet another disappointing port from Aspyr. This is the second time they've jammed the mac gaming community with a shoddy product that I know of, the first fiasco being Civilization 4 and Civ 4 Warlords. Don't waste your time buying any Aspyr products, spend your money on other developers for mac. And if you really need to play this game, get a PC. The exact problem I've got with this game is that it starts and then immediately exits when using the new NVIDIA 8800 GT graphics cards on the Mac Pro. Gee, its not like Nvidia uses a universal driver for all their cards or anything, so I can't see what the problem could possibly be except for some extremely shortsighted error checking on Asypr's part. However this type of problem is endemic for Aspyr as a company, just look around the web a bit for fan sites on some of their other ported games, such as Civ 4. Its a miracle they're still in business.

Reviewed on 2008-04-07 A great port of a great game You can read up on whether this game is one that you will enjoy without worrying about if you're reading up on the Mac version of this game. This review is here to tell you that the port to the Mac was done well, as far as I can tell with my 2008 Mac Pro and ATI 2600 video card. The game is smooth at 2560x1600 on the 2600, though once or twice I have noticed jerkiness with the action gets really intense. I have been on the fence about upgrading to the Nvidia 8800, but I don't game THAT much so it's probably not worth it for my use. The 2600 + Mac experience is definitely better than the XP version was on my ATI 1650 Pro at 1920x1200, though of course the 1650 Pro is an older card. One worry I have as a multi-monitor user is whether launching a game is going to screw up all my windows, or show up on some random monitor. This game does NOT interfere with other open windows, even when running it at a different resolution. It also launches properly onto my main screen. It would be nice if it provided a choice of which screen to run on, but this behavior is OK for me. It also properly blanks out the other screens. The only surprise for me is that the game requires the DVD to be present in the drive. Sure, a lot of games do this, but I don't recall other id titles requiring this. Kind of annoying, but not the end of the world.
